Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery at Spire Clare Park Hospital
Treatment to relieve pressure and pain in your wrist.
At Spire Clare Park Hospital, we carry out carpal tunnel release surgery using clinically proven techniques. The procedure eases the pain and numbness in your hand caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.
To relieve pressure on your median nerve, your surgeon will cut the ligament that runs across the front of your wrist bones. Pressure on the median nerve is caused by swelling inside your wrist and causes carpal tunnel syndrome.

Procedures offered for carpal tunnel surgery at Spire Clare Park Hospital
At Spire Clare Park Hospital, our consultants have extensive experience of performing carpal tunnel release surgery in our clean, modern facilities.
Our consultants typically offer open release surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. During surgery, your consultant will make an incision (cut) so they can see inside your wrist and cut the transverse carpal ligament.
If your surgeon thinks it’s right for you, they may offer a minimally invasive technique called endoscopic release. This is where a camera is used to see inside your wrist so one or two smaller incisions (cuts) can be used.

Your consultations
Once you’ve made an enquiry, we’ll be able to arrange your first appointment within a few days.
You’ll be able to meet one of our experienced surgeons in a private consultation room. They’ll ask you about your symptoms and medical history and take a look at your wrist. You’ll have a chance to ask any questions about surgery and discuss:
- Any further tests you may need such as a nerve conduction test or an ultrasound scan
- Other treatments you could try before you decide on surgery, such as painkillers or wrist splints
- What the procedure involves, including the anaesthetic (which is usually local)
- Any risks and complications and how these might affect you
Carpal tunnel surgery: your procedure
The operation takes around 20 minutes and you’ll be able to go home on the same day.
When you arrive for surgery:
- You’ll meet your surgical team and anaesthetist
- You’ll have a local anaesthetic (so you’ll be awake but won’t feel any pain)
- Your surgeon will make a small incision and then cut through the ligament that lies across the front of your wrist – they’ll use the technique you agreed upon during your consultation
Carpal tunnel surgery: your recovery
Everyone’s different, so how long it takes to recover from your surgery will depend on your general health and how severe your carpal tunnel syndrome is.
Your consultant will be able to tell you more about your expected recovery, but here’s a typical recovery timeline for carpal tunnel surgery:
